Hmmm...given that a low E is 41.2 Hz, the A is 55 Hz, the D is 73.42 Hz and that the published specs says it only goes down to 80 Hz, that wireless shouldn't reproduce bass very well at all. But, if it achieves what you need it to then that's all that matters

FWIW, the Line 6 G series extends below what you'd actually need at 10Hz. Additionally, being a digital system, there is no companding (compressing and expanding) of the signal as is with the Freeport and its analog UHF platform.

Prior to switching to my G30, I used a Shure U4S system that if bought new then was around $1400 I believe - so a good quality system that was used by a lot of pro touring acts (that or the U4D). I only switched from that unit because it operated in part of the frequency range that was reallocated and no longer available for wireless use. I was amazed at how much better the Line 6 sounded compared to the expensive Shure unit. Made me a believer. As always, YMMV.

I realize it's just piling on, but I've got a G50 (the middle of the Line 6 products) and it's just stupid good. I went with the 50 because of the metal housing for the transmitter - it seemed to be more durable than the plastic, and if I can figure out a way to break something, I will. It's been rock solid for me.

Got a 50 today

Works great with a down tuned 5 string bass

The battery door and other stuff is better than the 30 they had in the store . . . However I used my buddy's 30 and it works great

I dropped the transmitter on hardwood floor and it suffered no damage.

What about the cable going from the transmitter to the Bass. Sounds fragile. Where would you get a replacement cable, or a stronger alternative.
